A well-buttered crusty white bread sandwich with very crisp streaky bacon and a fried egg, plus a big mug of builder's tea.
Mmm.

Ooh, I had crumpets for lunch today. Didn't think to put marmalade on them. Next time.

Marmalade is mine, on toast , crumpets or hot cross buns/ tea cakes.

My OH's home made Mousakka (better than any I've had in Greece).
Banana sandwiches with the banana slightly mashed and a blob of strawberry jam.
Vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate sauce poured over.

That's the only thing wrong with Greys, their heads are at kitchen counter height

We had a Rhodesian ridgeback who once ate a whole panful of sausages that were sizzling gently on the hob while I was on the phone!

Urmstongran, I prefer this version, called The Selkirk Grace, and often attributed to Robert Burns:
'Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit'

mrsgreenfingers56 Wed 27-Nov-19 19:47:30

Crumpets with butter on!

EllaKeat Wed 27-Nov-19 19:23:36

sweetcakes Wed 27-Nov-19 19:21:02

Corn beef hash with beans on the bottom and grated cheese on the top put in the oven till cheese bubbles and a dollop of brown sauce on it with a hunk of bread Mmmmm

EllaKeat Wed 27-Nov-19 19:07:21

Funny how mashed potato features so much!

Mine is corned beef mashed potato with a poached egg in the middle.

Had that last night, and it was just perfect.

watermeadow Wed 27-Nov-19 19:04:10

Carbs in any form, with butter on. And cocoa, with digestive biscuits to dunk.

mrswoo Wed 27-Nov-19 19:01:15

Shepherds Pie
Frozen Cod steaks in cheese sauce
Poached egg on toast
Fish finger sarnies. Must be cod and the bread must be white.

No wonder I need to go on a diet.

I like egg(s) and chips too but, as I haven't made any proper chips for years, we haven't had that for ages.

grannybuy Wed 27-Nov-19 18:50:49

Fried egg on toast, and chocolate.

Urmstongran Wed 27-Nov-19 18:13:44

‘Food, glorious food ....’ ??

‘Hot sausage and mustard.
While we’re in the mood ... cold jelly and custard’
?

Again, reminds me of that simple but beautiful prayer -

‘Some people have food but no appetite,
Others have appetite but no food.
I have both ... praise the Lord’

(I’m not religious at all but this reminds me to be grateful in life).
